It's a good day when S2 drops a video. Thanks for all you and your shop are doing.
i second that! trying to promote your videos as i have no one to share them with!
S2 is one of the only things keeping me calm and carrying on these days
Make sure to find a good Church community. Really helps you make sense of everything
Hell yeah bro

Hold in there, brother.
You're absolutely doing gods work helping to protect people like me and my family. Thank you sir!
Well, "you're"
To the courtesy of whomever may respond next, its important to know the difference here between your and you're, because, its like this: Either you know your shinola, or you know you're shinola ...

Wake up babe, new S2 Underground just dropped
Not all heroes where capes. Been following since June, this manz gives us the holy grail of intel and knowledge.
I used to follow illegal alien flights from the border towns to cities throughout the country .This happens mostly at night on weekends . They would turn off their transponders just before landing . I made comments on Fox News YT page about this . I included the name of the airlines doing this and the tail numbers . My comments were immediately deleted by someone .
Very interesting work that u did, Thank You!
Keep trying to push your findings and be prepared to provide proof if necessary.
You should publish more information about this. You could probably find collaborators
Interesting 🤔
@@engin3ar Unfortunately I am not as good with technology as most (70 years old). I stopped doing this a while back . These night flights have been on the news so much that nobody cares anymore . It was fairly easy to do from ElPaso airport . Come to think of it . Where did all of those illegal immigrants go just before Biden went to ElPaso ?
I have a friend who works on these for the army here in Texas. People have no clue how many of these planes are out there picking up our cellphone and data information.
re: "picking up our cellphone and data"
Useless; At altitude a surveillance aircraft is 'seeing'/receiving the data at the same time from half a dozen or more 'phones' in a metro area ... each one interfering with the other ... to the aircraft, it sounds like CB ch 19 when the band is open - a jumbled mess!
@@stevexracer4309 re: " If you have multiple planes an individual cell phone can be triangulated and"
Hi friend. Former cellular RF engineer here, and also DF expert both at HF and VHF/UHF frequencies ... while what you say is true, you have also changed the focus of the discussion into a new direction, and therefore different from the opening comment I was replying to. You still have the problem of multiple signals arriving to a surveillance aircraft at altitude even while doing DF. Some of this is resolvable depending on the DF technique used, though. Do you recall legislation passed +20 years back called CALEA? Everything you want to do as LEOs can be done using CALEA tools provided by the cellphone carrier.
@@uploadJ because I'm sure you are aware of all military equipment and technology. I held a secret clearance for a decade, there is stuff the military has people wouldn't guess.
@@NOTSOSLIMJIM My first couple decades was with a defense contractor doing a wide variety of projects, including airborne and land-based systems involving RF and ranging from ILS/MLS, to the original GPS development work and our company even lead the revolution to computerization from the crude LORAN C receivers of the day in the 70's and onto Ku band RADAR ... I was lucky enough to also get involved with GaAs chip fabrication design and test too. A transition to cellular in its heyday was natural fit after taking some classes in 'telecom practices' ...
@@stevexracer4309 they got shit that acts as a cell tower that connects your phone to it and harvest entire dumps of your data.. dont be so naive
About a year ago we had an FBI Cessna doing loops sucking up data over my city…which is the biggest city in a solidly red congressional district in the Midwest.
It flew with no ADSB, just above airspace requirements for it…6k ft I believe. Took off typically around 5p and flew til about 10p. Same left hand loop over the same waypoints above town for hours on end. Occasionally it would shift for traffic, but only when needed. It did this for prob a month and a half. Almost always M-F and VFR. At 6k your line of sight for sucking up signals is quite decent too.
I heard it call in to the tower before departure with the KONA 247 call sign, which is a known fed call sign.
I tried once to go to the airport and catch the tail number (which would have been shell company registered) but they left town a few days later. No one is making loops over the same spot for hours on end day after day for training…
They prob paid $300+ an hour for the plane, fuel and pilots…10k a week for weeks…
There is a good chance they were doing "man in the middle " missions using "dirt box" and "stingray." This equipment acts like a cellular tower and can intercept cellular phone calls, download ALL info from a phone, and even "push" info to a phone.
Min of $430+ per hr…
@@StephenAR yea I was thinking for this day and time 300/hrs is sorta low no matter just thinking sir. Keep it up brother
hows springfield missouri doing
@@lancekilkenny721 that's not how those systems work. They don't do stuff like that. And most if not all cell traffic is encrypted now.
The feds have almost entirely quit using mode-S for their ISR aircraft. They have an exemption for the mode-S requirement. They're using mode A or C with a "company" squawk code. 44## were common squawks for the feds on mode-S. So unless your setup to decode A or C you're never seeing fed ISR unless they accidentally have mode-S on.
If you want to know what's flying, learn what ATC frequencies are used for the locations and altitudes where they are operating. They will be talking to ATC at some point. In the Wash DC area 118.95 is where you'll find them.
Modes 1, 2, 3A, and C are all unencrypted. Mode S is unencrypted, but only responds when pinged by ground or air transponders. Mode 4 is no longer used and Mode 5 is heavily encrypted, but is useless for you unless you're flying a fighter jet.
How about. How to sanitize Chinese made radios.
The key to this issue is only using the radio when you need it, a radio that’s off gives no signal
@@zaacharydc Maybe if you put it into a Faraday cage.
@Christopher Lee Cook I have an 888S... not sure what they're good for.
🤣 nice one
Soap?
Thanks
Great way to start the day - S2 is UP! Thanks for all the hard work!
I lived in a remote desert area outside of Phx in a known traffic-iky area for people and substances. Mostly late at night or super early in the morning (Sunday mornings in particular) we'd see very low flying small planes crossing desert areas that no person would have a legit reason to. Even saw a helicopter doing the same once and also saw it drop some type of cargo off on someone's (even more remote) private property which was super sketchy. I'd like to find out more about tracking these events if it's even possible. Thanks for all you do!!!!
Yup. I watch the same thing all the time. I understand theirs a Blackhawk training facility around but the cities buy spy planes.
I have an ISR platform flying above my city for around 2 months now. Funny part is no one even noticed it, till I pointed it out.
If you're willing to answer, OOC what city did you observe it?

Thanks for the education, insights, and tools. SDR is a game changer for prepared civilians.
Just started the video but thanks S2 for the update, im sure your busy with a life & all but past week ive been checking your page for updates like 20 times a day
I have been too!
I feel like this is perfect for both intelligence and my obsession with airplanes
A couple years ago i saw a blackhawk flying low over the city with what looked like lightbars over the windscreen and on each side of the tail section emiting a eerie red light facing downward. During the day of coarse.
You could see the light on day?
Uber plane
About 10 years ago, I saw a UFO over the San Fernando Valley, CA. My friend and I were barbecuing in the backyard. At first I thought it was a star, but then I realized it was way too big to be a star, even bigger than the ISS and the planet Venus (which are visible with the naked eye). I brought it to my friend’s attention; it was sitting stationary ver high up, but then it started to move and it rapidly left towards outer space and was gone out of sight in less than 2 seconds-we were shocked at how fast it moved away towards space. Imagine the tech that craft has!
Thanks for all the work you do!!
This guy is a national treasure.
Outstanding video! I recently finished setting up my ADS-B receiver and plane plotter software following the steps from your earlier video. Got this new video fully implemented now. I am in a location that is in range of aircraft that routinely fly with their transponders off, so I'm interested to see how to get them to show up in Plane Plotter. Thanks for all your work on this subject.
Your sdr dongle is just a listener if they arent giving off any signals you wont be seeing one.
@@Dawndreams174 True. After watching the end of this video again, these aircraft may just be transmitting in a mode that doesn't convey their location so they don't show up on my map. I'll have to check Aircraft View list the next time one of these planes is overhead.
Glad others are FINALLY spealkin on this!!
Sky Glass is Our Best Friend... Get you a feeder and help support
Would you consider doing a .PDF with notes for your Signit Videos. I'd pay $20 for a "Course"
Excellent work S2 crew!!!
S2, does your database include weather balloons shaped like Winnie-the-Pooh?
No, but you'd be the first to know when Navy pilots draw a giant penis over your house. ..gives a new meaning to, "Splash one!"
😮🤔🤯🫢👍🤣😂
All sattelites are baloons. There are no exceptions.
Don't you mean Winnie the Flu?
Not sure if you're joking or not... If not my brother in Christ you need to start learning about airplanes first
More banker wars! Keep feeding the flames!
Really waiting for the next episode of this series! This is such a powerful tool. Would like to have a better understanding of the various transponder Modes that aircraft use.
As a database developer and radio guy, this really scratches an itch for me.
I’d love to see (and could create) an API front end for this data plus some extra metadata to crowd-source the tagging.
Hey, if you wanted to, could you build a new social media site? Something similar to instagram for example?
I am generally more concerned with gov spying then chinese.
Man you guys are always on que and put out quality,real world good ole info that's very helpful,unlike all the news of today is not so reliable, keep it up awesome stuff.
SDR can be used for passive radar as well, the Kraken SDR one actually got taken down by ITAR.
It's shocking to use Flight tracker and see planes with names like "Rivet Joint" and "Poseidon" orbiting over the CONUS 24/7. They aren't running training missions, folks. The regime is truly that fragile. Question: Does the system shown overcome what seems to be transponders which are switched off during mission?
If there's no transponder then there's nothing to track even for this system. The difference between this system and the commercial flight tracking sites as he said was those commercial sites can filter discreet IDs on owner requests and keep the average person from seeing the data. This system will show you any aircraft in the database which has its transponder turned on.
Can't wait for more on this. Planeplotter is confusing for me and there's not much info out that that I've found that is easy to follow, but with the two videos you've put out so far I've got local tracking up. We'll see if I've followed this video correctly and get alerts. I've done some things I don't know how to undo haha.
Good thing is if you screw up, just uninstall and start over until you get the hang of it.
While on missions on the border, we turned off our ADS-B.
But it's on during takeoff and landing, so being notified that a plane is airborne between X and Y times is still useful.
I should shamelessly take up full body sun bathing. Do full spread when spy does fly over 😆
That will impact your social credit score for sure.

I'm not a prepper at all, but your videos are fascinating.
Thankyou
I can't stop laughing at how the actual term is "dongle." I thought that was just something my buddy called it, like gizmo or thingy. But no, it's actually a dongle.
I'm looking forward to the future passive radar video
One of your better tradecraft videos. Thank you.
I use to see the Phoenix PD Cessna doing circles around the valley, I noticed it when it was doing circles near my home in Avondale so I looked at the flight radar then looked into who owned the plane and it was a Phoenix PD airplane, they have multiple aircraft that I didn’t know about previously, there’s also a fbi building downtown right next to the main Phoenix PD building so I know the 2 agencies have a working relationship
I used to***
😊
Good idea to find the tail numbers and put them in your pocket for later
Ah yes, CIA torture flights
The reverse Bane
I liked the video just out of instinct… did not regret
The guy who first started private surveillance flights in the US was ex-military. He just wanted to bring some of the anti-terrorism tech he saw in Iraq to bear against street crime in Baltimore. It worked, but the ACLU wasn't having it. Persistent aerial surveillance has also been effective fighting the cartels in Mexico. This tech has its place. It's not always about the gov spying on you (although sure, that probably happens too).
Would a true spy plane really be broadcasting on an open transponder?
no they wouldnt
"the sky is the limit" I saw what you did there 🤣
Great video once again, sir!
35:02 ln the the southern hemisphere they will make right hand turns, thermal activity works the opposite down here.
Great video.
Have a good one...
Ciao...
This is useful, but ADS-B can be turned off from the cockpit & many crews do turn it off.
Not in congested airspace, like airports. So having someone who lives near the airport catching them taking off, and reporting it is possible.
Just started watching this channel.
You are a HERO sir! Keep doing what you do.
Should not take long to enter every police chopper in your area.
What do you think about Skyglass for aircraft tracking? Is there a way to add spy balloons (like the Google weather balloons the US gov took control of) to the database and also get alerts?
Monkeywerx uses skyglass and gets some balloons. You can check his sitreps out to see capability.
U S. weather balloons are scheduled and trackable.
*ALL"SATTELITES" ARE BALOONS*
@@UNcommonSenseAUS do you want to elaborate on that?

Is there x ray band X-ray used for survalence on satellites or aircraft? I have a gieger counter and feb 8th, monitoring background radiation I got a burst of either gama or x ray detected for about 30 seconds to a min. at 12:13. background radiation went from 0.08 to 0.12 micro sieverts to 6.00 microsievers setting off my alarms. it progressively moved from nother to south as my alarms for about 15 sec. were only measuring elevated levels on the north end and not the south also it came in burst with a second or less between burst. about 3 burst. then was gone. looking forward to watching your video with my boys today soon.
Was any solar weather happening?
@@richavic4520 the day before we had masive solar flares but given the things moving at the speed of light like the electromagnetic spectrum does should only be 9 min to make it to earth i didnt think solar flares would be affecting us a day later. and I have not seen any reports of major solar flares since then. but that doesnt mean we didnt have any
@@richavic4520 I dont know if there is x ray band radars or not or if I should just asume solar flares
@@seedsinsixtyseconds solar mass travels much slower than the speed of light, moving between 250-3,000 km/second.
So they could impact the earth between 15-18 hours up to several days.
Beyond glad i found your channel!
one thing not mentioned. Government intel are lazy. email is easy to monitor remotely, opening paper mail is hard. guess which one gets done. If monitoring a city, so long as it works for most people they generally don't care about a few people with cell phones turned off. So knowing that people are being watched and doing something about it, means you remove you from interest even if maybe they should be interested in you.
NEW S2 DROP! OH SHIT EVERYONE GET IN HERE! NEW S2 DROP! OH SHIT EVERYONE GET IN HERE!
Tracking highway radar planes is useful just have to watch them fly in circles
"How do you do, fellow Cessnas?"
The government should fear The People. Thank you so much and God bless you. Do you have a Locals or somewhere we can find you when you inevitably get banned?
S2 I dig your vids! But, I’m stupid and don’t understand a damn thing you said. I’ll check back in later. Have a nice day everybody!
Start with his first video that he referenced at the start of this one. Trust me, I'm stupid with computers but was able to get this software up and running using his step by step instructions.
"What if you could do this without internet access with...."
I skipped ahead 90 seconds when I heard that, thinking it was a nord vpn ad or something...lol
I see these LLC contract spy planes running their routes over Camp Atterbury and it’s adjacent Urban Warfare mock city training center. You can tell they are hoovering up cell radio data on their mudboxes. Your phone will read full signal to the nearest tower, then flip over to lower signal when you get locked into their spoofy crap. Power cycle all you want, it flips over on their radios until they are done. I turn off LTE radio and use wifi calling and fire up vpn when they are running their orbit. Can’t say 100% if this is even the best bet, but at least I make them work for it. I should just toss the phone in my RF blocking pouch and wait it out.
Great work man this is quality stuff
Outfuckingstanding dude well done
Monkey Werx does an interesting briefing on aircraft. His is somewhat oriented toward what is latest activity and what it might mean. Worth a look.
It would be really nice to set up lora stations with sdrs further out from base station.
I live in the flight path of our local intel base... so I am sure everything i type or send over the air is captured.
need this for linux/raspberry pi. VirtualRadar is cool but needs the ability to plug into a local db like planeplotter. any suggestions for pi/sbc folks that use linux?
those c-130s with the huge wing drop tanks? not drop tanks they are loaded with electronic antennas
Thank all you S2 Underground people for giving US citizens the information we need during these uncertain times.
Hey man I got a question for u. So I want to be able to listen to my local police department and as I've learned from ur scanner video they r trunked. Now I'm prepared to buy one of the uniden bearcat scanners u reccomend that will work for trunking frequencies but I've heard u can listen with a sdr . Is that true? Or is getting that 600 scanner still a better option?
We test drones here. Should be interesting!
Noice. Perfect for my Saturday morning
Skyglass is an excellent resource, as long as we have internet. God bless you and yours.
The thing I need to track are the cropdusters who kill my apples, roses and tomatoes, but I think they're a bunch of pirates.
@S2 Thanks for what you do!
I really enjoyed working on a Hercules
We need to develope a 60k ft range sling shot , tag something with a skittle , slingshotted a bird with a skittle ...was ugly
Is there a follow up video for the "cool" plane tracking yet?
Hmm, so would a drone hand controller, like say a DJI controller which IS an ADSB RECEIVER could be used for realtime monitoring?
What are they doing when I see for instance, 1 Blackhawk (With Callsign) inbound to me on ADSB, but when I go outside to confirm visually I’ll see the Blackhawk ADSB reported but it’s flying tight with 2 Chinooks and maybe 3 Ospreys that aren’t transponding?
In formation flying, only the flight lead is required to have transponders on. It's not nefarious, it helps the air traffic controllers have less cluttered screens.
I have a lot of black choppers(blackhawk and the small light one) with no tail number flying tree height. Not that unusual given the base nearby.
Use to see them in the past , not out watching in years . I think , in the past , they were used for intimidation. When I would get mouthy on local talk radio , or writing letters to government , the helicopters would show up .
@@mikelgeren149 I think I am just in their route from base to opp/training grounds judging by angles and topography.
Same. They follow a little river about a half mile north, and downhill from my place and they sometimes are at eye level.
On an airline flight, I sat next to a gentleman that was visiting his daughter that was stationed at the Fort and was a helicopter pilot. I gave him my location and some landmark info.
As a 9/11 kid I’m actually quite good at noticing literally any aircraft going over in any unusual path or low altitude lol
Without disclosing any *classified* information, military _"cargo aircraft"_ sometimes carry some _"interesting cargo"_ ...
*HINT:* If you have an ADS-B feed near certain defense contractors, you might be able to assume that any military _"cargo"_ aircraft in the vicinity might be _"of interest"_ ... Also, cargo planes sprouting strange antennae ... (For example, C-130s with an interesting _"clothes line"_ emanating from the vertical tail fin.)
Or not, I've been out of that business for a quarter century now.
Compass Call planes are well known for getting up to interesting things.
@@kerbalairforce8802 Ah, you recognized my _"clothes line antenna"_ reference... (Don't forget _Senior Scout,_ either. Or even _Rivet Joint.)_
Thanks S2 for your excellent work.
Thank you 😊
@S2 Underground do you have instructions or could you direct me to instructions on setting on an offline ADS-B with my RTL-SDR 1090mhz setup on a toughpad? I cannot find any good instructions on setting this up properly.
Thank you for everything you do.
B-more! Whoop, whoop! 👁️🗨️
great video, cant wait for part 2
Can we track the upper atmospheric aerosol injection planes? Take off and land locations?
It would be great to be able to expose them!
Looking more and more like it’s about to boil over
Just this week I saw 3 UH-60’s, all black, no markings flying low. I quickly checked Flightradar24 and it showed nothing. We’re those either filtered out by the app or no transponder on? Idk.
Flying low, ground stations have a hard time seeing them because of line of sight. If you were operating the station, they probably had it turned off.
Is there a way to collect these aircraft alerts, and then send them through meshtastic?
so did the patriot act make ussid 9 and 18 obsolete?
I really appreciate you guys making these videos. Any chance you guys might do a video on the Beamfinder utility in Planeplotter?
I suspect that's what he was referring to for future videos.
Back when watching the Rittenhouse video. They were using UAV, the whole time watching riots happen in Infrared video.
@ S2 Underground, In your opinion, why the 1000% increase in prop plane traffic droning overhead slowly for the last 18 months? I've noticed and I'm sure others have as well.
I've read there is a method for tracking trains using similar tech, but I can't seem to find anything. any ideas?
I understand they use some sort of transponder system like aircraft do?
